SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 294,660, dated March 4,1884.

Application filed December 31, 1883. (No model.)

all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, WILLIAM K. MorTRAM and JAMES AROHABLE MUNDY,citizens of the United States, residing at Ottawa city, in the county ofFranklin, in the State of Kansas, have invented a new and usefulCarriage and Wagon Jack, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has relation to improvements in lifting-jacks; and itconsists in the construction and novel arrangement of devices, as willbe hereinafter more fully set forth, andparticularly pointed out in theclaim appended.

In the accompanying drawings, in which the same letters of referenceindicate corresponding parts, Figure 1 is a representation of a sideelevation of our invention, and Fig.- 2 is a view of the same, showingall the parts disconnected.

Referring by letter to the said drawings, B designates the standard,which is preferably constructed of wood, and is bifurcated at its upperend for a suitable distance to receive the lever D, whichis pivotedtherein by means of abolt, as shown at K. This standard is braced at itsforward side by means of a foot-brace, O, which is out obliquely on itsinner upper side longitudinally, so that when secured to the standard Bit will assume the position shown in Fig. 1.

E indicates .a quadrant, which may be of cast metal, having at oppositeends the lateral flanges a a, which are perforated, as shown, to receivebolts or screws, by which it is secured above and below the pivotalpoint of thelever, respectively, to the standard. The upper straightportion, 1), and the lower curved portion, d, of this quadrant areprovided with a recess, 0, whereby screws or bolts may be easilymanipulated in securing it to the standard B, the intermediate portionof the quadrant having a series ofrecesses adapted to receive a engagingthe intermediate perforations in the quadrant, as before described. Theouter or power end of the lever D is recessed on its upper edgedownwardly and inwardly, so as to give an inner inclination to theprojection H,

which will cause the axle or other portion of a vehicle engaged therebyto fall forward in the recess as the power end of the lever is elevated.This recessed end of the lever is bound with a metal facing, F.

Havingthus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

The lifting-jack described, consisting of the standard B, having itsupper end bifurcated, as shown, the foot-brace (J, having its upperinner side cut obliquely and secured to the forward side of thestandard, the quadrant E, having the intermediate perforations, thesemicircular slot for engaging the check-pin of the lever, and thelateral perforated flanges by which it is connected to the standard, andthe lever D, having its power end constructed as shown, pivoted in thestandard, and provided with the plate G, having the stud or checkpin,substantially as specified.
